Syria: Thinking of You

Oh, Syria, I hope you’re OK.

Specifically, Syrians, I hope you’re OK. Every one of you I’ve met has been charming and kind and gracious…and sometimes a bit of a ham.

"I am the most beautiful!"

Glad you liked, Maria! Sad indeed. The first time I went to Syria, in 1999, I remember thinking, I hope nothing bad ever happens to these people. But…given the country’s location and leadership, the odds weren’t good.
